In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery problems as a consequence of resin allocations from resin vendors. This is the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at one time. Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and PVDF both are on allocation. Both of these resins are in short supply.
